Jeter had the game’s first hit, a single up the middle, and the first run scored, when he raced home on Ichiro Suzuki’s RBI double in the first.

Suzuki was involved in the first out when he was caught stealing at third base by Orioles catcher Matt Wieters. Alex Rodriguez was the game’s first strikeout victim in the first inning. Nick Swisher had the first walk, on four pitches, in the second inning.
